Abstract

Rural women, especially in the northern regions of the country, have played a significant role in all stages of agricultural production. However, with the introduction of new technologies, their role has diminished. One way to increase women's participation is through economic empowerment. Enhancing women's economic empowerment acts as a catalyst for the economic growth of a country, which is influenced by social capital. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to measure the effects of social capital on the economic empowerment of women. Based on this aim, the research question is: To what extent has the economic empowerment of rural women in Langroud County been influenced by social capital? The approach of this study is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population consists of 18,655 rural women in Langroud County, and the sample size, calculated using the Cochran formula with a margin of error of 0.05, was 380 individuals selected through simple random sampling. Based on the results of the binomial test, it can be concluded that social capital and economic empowerment are significantly different, with both at a low level. According to the regression analysis, social capital explains more than 56% of the indicators of economic empowerment among rural women. Based on the statistical calculations from the path analysis test, the awareness and participation indicators have the most positive and direct impact on women's economic empowerment. Additionally, the awareness indicator has the most indirect effect on empowerment, influencing participation, which in turn leads to the economic empowerment of women
